Reminds me of Dr. Cranky's drag car, but different enough to make it unique. Love the idea!

More!

That goes for me too. I dig it.

Got the side panels on and will do some more priming tomorrow. I also gathered up the chrome pieces I want to strip and should be able to do that tomorrow as well.

Got a little more done today. Primed the whole thing since I mounted the side panels. I also stripped some chrome and painted a couple parts. I also made and painted a removable bed cover from some sheet plastic.

Making slow progress on this thing. I cut down the floor pan to fit the new short body. The engine is partially done. Ordered a pre wired distributor but still has not arrived. The front suspension is pretty much done. Thinking of replacing the bench seat with some buckets. May even add a center console , not sure.

I like the body on yours better than the converted bus body you used for reference. I think the bed overhang off the rear looks a bit off, too. Maybe lengthen the frame, and Z it in front of the cab?

No biggie Ray! Just looked at your photo......the easy way to do it would be to cut it off behind the cab, then take the bed and cut it right at the second rectangle in the box side, then seam it back into the cab again. Instead of two rectangles in the side, you will only have one then.

Hey.....it's only plastic right?

I see what your saying and I think it would look better I just hate to go back to cutting and then the putty and sanding again. I think I will try and get it lower. That may help the overall look.
